    **Own a Piece of the Wild West: Historic Adobe Home in Ghost Town Cuchillo** Escape to the heart of the Old West in this beautifully remodeled 100+ year old adobe home, nestled in the small ghost town of Cuchillo, NM. This unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, while still enjoying modern comforts. Just 12 miles from the vibrant artist community and natural hot springs of Truth or Consequences, and only 9 miles to the recreational paradise of Elephant Butte Lake (NM's largest lake!), you get the best of both worlds: secluded tranquility and convenient access to amenities. Even better, you're perfectly positioned to explore the vast and breathtaking Gila National Forest, offering endless opportunities for hiking, camping, and outdoor recreation. The home sits at the end of a historic stagecoach road, nestled in a peaceful valley. Experience the charm of original adobe construction, thoughtfully updated for modern living. The kitchen boasts a wonderful antique wood-burning stove, perfect for cozy evenings (along with a conventional gas stove). A full bath features a composting toilet and an antique clawfoot tub, adding a touch of vintage elegance. A master bath has been started, offering you the opportunity to customize it to your exact taste. Step out onto the spacious, south-facing, wrap-around screened-in porch and immerse yourself in the relaxing fresh air and desert views. Imagine stargazing, enjoying morning coffee, or entertaining friends in this incredible outdoor space. This .75-acre property is fenced and gated for privacy and security, featuring mature trees, including apricot and pomegranate – a true desert oasis! An attached two-car garage, storage/workspace, and utility room provide ample space for all your needs. The property includes a private well, evaporative cooler, and propane for kitchen and heating. Backing up to the hillside and open desert, and with the Gila National Forest at your fingertips, the possibilities for exploration are endless. Hike for miles, discover hidden canyons, and experience the tranquility of a bygone era. This isn't just a home; it's an adventure, a lifestyle, and a piece of the American West. Previously a successful Airbnb Airbnb and featured on History Channel. Priced to sell quickly! Contact me directly at 575-571-0157 for more information or to schedule a showing.
